Topic: Deadly Creatures 2

A couple of days ago i finally startet playing red steel 2. Especially the finishing moves reminded me of those in Deadly Creatures. It made me wonder, if it could be worth the effort of making a successor of deadly creatures utilizing the motion+. With a not so liniear gameplay (open world) and possibilities for up-levelling / upgrading your spider, scorpion, etc (maybe something flying - hornets...) a sequel could be a real improvement. I am not sure wether deadly creatures 1 did sell well or not.

What do you think?

I heard that the developer shut down and the project leaders died or something. Or they work for apple.

I never bothered to pick that game up. It did sorta look cool though. No sequel seems likely.

Deadly creatures is an awesome game, i highly recommend it !

And to be honest - the motion controls for the finishing moves in deadly creatures were really easy-going and fun to use - even without motion+.

@HerOofTime007: The developer was THQ. I mean, that is a big one - AND they are making a sequel for de Blob. I wonder, if de Blob really was more successful than deadly creatures...

I still haven't played this game. I really want to though.

I heard that the lead project manager committed suicide.

Don't expect a sequel, the game didn't sell well at all. It wasn't a great game anyway. Sure, the idea behind it was nice, but the gameplay was repetitive as hell.

its not even out of the plastic wrapper in my shelf yet lol

Yeah, you pretty much took my answer. Wasn't a bad game...but, meh...wasn't that great either.

I thought they just published it, maybe I'm thinking of Cursed Mountain. Though with the current game $5 at best buys bargain bin and apparently it being a commercial failure as that article says.... 3DSWare Non Direct Sequel at least.

...Wait, THQ developed it?...I'm lost, gotta look the game up now. xD

It was a good game and i enjoyed it, but like Link-Hero said, it was short and a bit glitchy at times. I think its sales were pretty lackluster, so i doubt we'll see a sequel, unfortunately. It was definitiely the kind of game that had good potential that probably could have made for a vastly improved sequel once some of the issues were worked out.

I rented the game once (I miss renting games ). It was pretty fun but nothing amazing. Still better than almost anything else ever to come from THQ though so it's a shame they'll probably be stuck making crappy licensed games as usual.

Good idea for a game, and great atmosphere. Too linear though. If they had more Metroid-style progression it would be a killer game. I'd definitely be up for a sequel.
